HappySoda Elsewhere
This probably isn’t worthy of a post, but here goes. Some of my figure pictures are in or are going to be in a couple of magazines. Pictures of Ryuna will be inside MAX magazine. MAX is a Mexican magazine like Maxim and FHM, something leaning toward mainstream, which is interesting. MAX sent me an [...]
Hot House Shouko-san
Sweat arose from Shouko-san’s skin, rising up against the uncomfortable heat pouring into her room. The thermostat was broken and the windows of the old Victorian held fast. Just as well. Shouko wanted to be alone and cut-off from everything. It was a free day made for lounging. A free day just for her. Cell [...]

The story borrows the setting of pre French Revolution Europe, uses the history and historical figures, twists them up, throws in zombies and wizards called poets in an intrigue filled plot. Sounds like it could be interesting, but add in [...]
If Beck Stumbles, If Beck Falls
What makes Beck connect with me is how it can remind me of the dreams I had before joining the real world. Nowhere in that dream of red guitars, three chords, and the truth was the idiocy of Leon Sykes, which is where Beck kind of loses me in volume 5. It almost feels like [...]
